Nothing top secret or anything but I was wondering if they were still planning on shipping this? They missed the first quarter target.

The move from Dewalt was whitetail inspired.

We make about 50lbs of venison jerky a year and I wanted a cordless caulking gun to extrude the sticks. At the time Makita was the only one with the large capacity tubes.

So I purchased the cordless gun thinking that would be the only Makita I would need.

Then they went and released their new 1/2in impact gun and it blew the dewalt away in torque so I picked up one of those. A couple months later I get a monster Makita "kit" from my wife as a present. Then my son gifts me their new 16in cordless chainsaw. Then I saw their new blower with the 4 5.0 Ah batteries and picked that up for blowing off the trailer/tractor before towing anywhere.

Etc. etc. etc. The back wall is starting to look like a Makita commercial.

It's been a while since you posted this.

Greased the MMM earlier and reminded me of it.

Your picture struck me as very similar to the Milwaukee gun I got earlier this year.

Wondering if same gun manufacturer? Look remarkedly similar, and also 18v.

At first, I wasn't a fan of it. Gotten so I really like it. I can do the ol' Moline in nothing flat.

If it is of the same manufacture, I hope it works as well for your venison jerky operation! The low pressure/higher volume setting is pretty neat.

I'd like to see some pics of the jerky ops!
